EXECUTION OF WOMEN.
Methods of Capital Punishment in oldcn
Timcs~~Vnrious Laws.


In The carly days Of England men were
too humane to execute women. bat they
drowned thrn. During the reign Of
Henry III, however woman was
hanged. In. as shs did not die after being
on the GibLct for a day, they cut her
down and she was granted Il pardon.
Adultcrous women and sCrccrcsscs were
drowned or smothcrcd in mud. Stones
were fastened TO their nccks TO prevent
their swimming. or they were sewed up
in sacks. Sometimes they were drowned
in company with a cat, dog and q
snake. The AnglO-SaXons drowned wo-
men guilty of theft. The criminal was
thrown from the cliff or submerged. In
the Tenth century q woman was drowned
at London bridge. Women were pun
ishcd hv drowning in Scotland. In 1899
Griescll M0thon was condemned by tho
high court Of Edinburgh ito be taken to
the north loci; and there drowned till she
be dead.

to have been rut into a sack, and her
limbs not to have been securely bound,
for She rose 20 the surface Of the water
and swan f. the shore crying "hclp, y

According to the Danish laws, women
were buried alive for theft. method Of

and III 1860 a woman named Pcrottc
Mauger. notorious thief and receiver of
stolen goods was by order of the provost
of Paris. buried alive in front of the glib
bet in that city. In ancient German his
